<h1>Adopting 4.11 mechanisms and APIs</h1>

<p>
  This section describes changes that are required if you are trying to change
  your 4.10 plug-in to adopt the 4.11 mechanisms and APIs.
</p>

<ol>
	<li><a href="#errorLog">PDE feature <code>org.eclipse.pde</code> no longer includes the Error Log view.</a></li>
</ol>

<!-- ############################################## -->
<h2>1. <a name="errorLog">PDE feature <code>org.eclipse.pde</code> no longer includes the Error Log view</a></h2>
<p><strong>What is affected:</strong> Clients including PDE feature <code>org.eclipse.pde</code> to include the Error Log view.
</p>
<p><strong>Description:</strong>
We migrated the <code>org.eclipse.ui.views.log</code> bundle from PDE feature <code>org.eclipse.pde</code> to Platform
feature <code>org.eclipse.platform</code>. The ID of the Error Log view has not been changed.
</p>
<p><strong>Action required:</strong>
Clients should:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Consider removing <code>org.eclipse.pde</code> feature from products if it was included to get the Error Log view.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Consider adding plug-in <code>org.eclipse.ui.views.log</code> to a private feature or include feature <code>org.eclipse.platform</code> which now contains the Error Log view.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Consider removing <code>org.eclipse.ui.views.log</code> from private features if feature <code>org.eclipse.platform</code> is already included.</li>
</ul>

All those changes are backward-compatible. So you can apply them on a project using 4.10 as target-platform, and this would work on both 4.10 and 4.11.
